"Ernie K-Doe was the self-proclaimed Emperor of the Universe, one of New Orleans greatest entertainers -- a kinetic barrage of gleefully declarative vocals, wildly colorful sloganeering, show-stopping acrobatic dance moves and eye popping wardrobe. In a city renowned for its flamboyant, half-mad musical practitioners -- K-Doe ranked as one the most eccentric, volatile and beloved characters. This compilation presents (for the first time on CD) a complete collection of the material he recorded for Don Robey's legendary Duke label, 1964-1970 -- a gritty blend of deep, bluesy ballads and funky NOLA soul."
